TD Composer and TD API

Posted in: Newspaper

Hello,

I have quite a few custom blocks/modules/header/footer/topbars setup currently via a plugin. They display and are able to be used perfectly in Visual Composer. When I try to make a new page with the TD Composer though, none of the blocks are visible/able to be selected from the add elements section. Is this by design? Are there updates that need to be made to the TD Composer still? If I was able to select my custom blocks I could move away from Visual Composer. Please Advise! Thanks!

I’m in the same situation. Trying to migrate from Visual Composer to TagDiv Composer but I can’t do that without my custom modules and blocks.

Hello,

You will have to add an extra parameter to your block modification as shown here:

The mapping in td_composer was not present before version 8.0

Thank you!

Where is the documentation is that? I am unable to locate it. I scoured all over for it yesterday. Thanks!

I have added the extra parameter, deactivated/reactivated the plugin. Made sure I am version 8.1 for the theme. TD Composer is 1.0. Still not showing up in the composer. Please advise.

Here is the documentation in question: https://forum.tagdiv.com/td_api_blockadd/
The api plugin will not have this parametere if you used it as it was built before the tagdiv composer was implemented. Please try the method specified in the documentation provided.

Thanks.

I copy and pasted that in, doesn’t work. Please Advise.

Also, map in td parameter is missing from that page. It’s only in the code example.

Hi,

We will update the documentation in this matter as soon as possible. Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused for you.
Please make the modification mentioned by Bogdan and also this one
https://www.screencast.com/t/6VyUquDo4Z
The blocks should be displayed as an option in the tagDiv composer after making this modification.

Thanks

The additional parameter is surely required. All is working now. Thanks!

Add these to your blocks for them to register with TDC:
‘map_in_td_composer’ => true,
“tdc_category” => ‘Blocks’,

Side Notes:
When using TDC the list of elements gets quite long, perhaps the ability to minimize by the category would be a good UX function.

Thanks again!
